Ooooh, pet peeve of mine. Methinks I really need this book. [*ducks*]

[Confused] Why are you ducking? So far it's fun, although I'm not sure I'm assimilating everything. I can see coming back and rereading relevant sections if something crops up in something I'm reading.
Ducking because of my own mock-dive into the version of English that also gave us "thee" and "thou" -- couldn't resist, even though it's admittedly rather uninspired ...

Ah. I was just confused because I wasn't about to throw anything. When I notice it done badly it bugs me too.

You can still use them but you may be misunderstood. (Or: thou canst still use them but thou mayst be misunderstood. Unless I screwed that up. Please forgive my presumptuous familiarity and do not take it as condescension. Wait...is there an imperative?)

Most of the masses are washed these days, actually.

If it helps, *we'll* know what you mean.
